Benjamin Hancock is a member of Bridges and currently the head of distribution in Distribution Center West of Capital Knot City.
History[]
Benjamin was born in the world shortly before the Stranding, enough to remember how the world was one big network and where every bit of information, video, audio, text, ecc. was available for one and all.
Following the Stranding he become a freelamce porter, porbably to survive like other people, prioritize cargo condition and learning to "hang in there" and deliver cargos in one piece. At some point he join the Bridges and, as a porter for them, he was given a BB to get through the BTs areas unscathed, but eventually Benjamin become attached to his BB: to feel less alone during the expeditions, to play and have fun with it until he enjoys the "Like" that the "little guy" left him, despite the indications of Bridges. During a delivery, when Benjamin was out in BT territory, his BB became suffering from autotoxemia and he couldn’t make it back to a private room in time, losing his BB, despite having inserted it, late, in an incubator.
Years later he was choosen to participate in the Bridges I expedition to the west, and was appointed as the head of distribution of the Distribution Center West of Capital Knot City, and proud of the role entrusted to him. Firmly convinced that the various facilities of Bridges must work together, Benjamin relies on the fellow porter George Baton who, head of distribution of the Waystation near the distro center, should deliver materials to his structure. Unfortunately at some point George becomes less reliable as a porter, so much so that he often leaves half of his load behind, which disappoints Benjamin and slows down the activities of his distro center due to lack of materials. During the three years of isolations however, were times that Benjamin worried the second expedition would never happen and nearly losing faith in the dream of the American Reconstructionism of President Strand.
During his expedition, Sam was ordered to delivers rare materials to the distro center, a thing that Benjamin and all the personals really appreciates. During his delivery BB-28 goes in autotoxemia, a condition that does not allow it to function at its best, which is then thwarted by the incubator in the private room of the distro center. Things improve significantly for Benjamin when Sam manages to retrieve the interface for the chiral printer from a MULEs camp, which consequently allows the structure to operate at 100%, thanks also to the connection to the Chiral Network.
